Playing for Free Is Not Great Training

There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing poker for free online. Depending upon where you are standing on the planet, this may be the only way you can experience the joys of internet poker. It is important to realize that this is a good way to get introduced to the nuts and bolts of the game, but is a very poor way to prepare for a life of real money games. In a game where no real money is on the line, people will not behave the same as if their hard earned cash is sitting on the table.
